Chavez is not a dictator goof ball.It will take years to correct the dictators that have been installed in that country just like Pinochet in Chile by Nixon and the CIA.Pinochet tortures, Chavez gives back the wealth to poor and the working people.Bloomberg is like Berlusconi,or Franco.Media mogul,controls media,holds the purse strings with tax payer money, and no respect for democracy:Just like right wing Berlusconi.Bush just kissed his cheeks at the white house.Or more like the scandalous billionaire felons that run around israel from Russia.

FYI:
We live in a republic and not a democracy...as in "to the REPUBLIC for which it stands".

Remember "the pledge"?

Bloomberg and his council stooges sure have forgotten it!
